Thanks a lot! It seems to work. The reason I say that because I found it has actually deleted the folders from the server as well. I have supposed it works like Microsoft Outlook that the action would only hide the folders from the iPad but leave them alone in the server.

To assure myself, I deleted a mailbox in my Google Mail account on one of my iPads. It also disappeared from my other iPad. If the mailbox can't be deleted from the server, a popup appears: "Unable to Delete Mailbox".

If all you want to do is reduce clutter, consider placing the extra folders inside a master folder. You can call it Folders, or Files, or Archive. Once you do, you can collapse the main folder; then all you will see is the folders you want, and one more.

While you can create and move folder on the iPad in Mail (for IMAP accounts) it would probably be easier to do it from your PC or web client.
